The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime won big at Sunday night’s Tony awards, giving its star, Broadway debutant Alex Sharp, a chance to inspire young people to follow their dreams at all costs.

“This is a massive honor,” said Mirren, who saluted playwright Peter Morgan, director Stephen Daldry and designer Bob Crowley for their “elegant” work.

“And baby, this is for you and you know why,” she said to her husband, Taylor Hackford, who was in the audience at Radio City Music Hall.
